Description of problem: Printing side by side pages with an odd # paged document drops last page Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.3.0-6.11.fc8@x86_64 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start with a document that is 13 pages long. 2. Open the print dialog (File/Print or Ctrl-P) 3. Choose the "Page Setup" tab 4. Change the Pages per side to "2" 5. Leave "Two-Sided" as "One Sided" 6. Choose the "Properties" Tab 7. Change the "Orientation" to "Landscape" 8. Click "Print" Actual results: I get pages 1 through 12 printed side by side on 6 pieces of Paper. I do NOT get page 13 at all. Expected results: Page 13 to be on the left side of a page by itself. Additional info: If I add a 14th blank page, it prints fine.
Does it make any difference to print to file as postscript, and to open that file in evince and then print from evince with the same options as above ?
If I print to file I lose the ability to set the Pages per side option and it just creates a PDF/PS of 1 page per page.
open that .ps file that has one page per page in evince and then that print from evince with the 2 pages per sheet option and see does that work or also fail
This time a 3 page document.. From the PDF output from OpenOffice printed from Evince using 2 pages per sheet, it prints fine. However printing the same document from within OpenOffice, 2 pages/sheet. it only prints the first page of 2 pages. it fails to print the 3rd "original page". Yup, does look like some bug in OpenOffice/ the openoffice gnome print integration.
Does it make any difference to print to file as *postscript*, and to open that file in evince and then print from evince with the same options as above ?
The different version of OpenOffice I tested: 2.3.0-6.6.fc8@x86_64 2.4.0-12.8.fc9@x86_64 2.3.0-6.16.fc8@x86_64 The results are as expected correctly and the described bug didn't reappear. My actions is as follows: 1. Created a document that is 13 pages long. 2. Opened the print dialog (File->Print) 3. Selected an available printer in "General" tab 4. Selected "1" of "Copies" options in "General" tab 5. Selected "All" of "Print Pages" options,then left others originally in "General" tab 6. Clicked the "Page Setup" tab and changed the "Pages per side" to "2" 7. Set "Two-Sided" with "One Sided" in "Page Setup" tab, then left others originally 8. Chose the "Properties" Tab and changed the "Orientation" to "Landscape" 9. Clicked "Print" Result: Printer printed 7 pages copy as expected.
ok, so whatever the problem is we can't get it to happen for us :-( If there is some alternative way of achieving the problem feel free to reopen this bug
